We study the dynamics of a particle in continuous time and space, the displacement of which is governed by an internal degree of freedom (spin). In one definite limit, the so-called quantum random walk is recovered but, although quite…

We look at the equilibrium of a Brownian particle in an inhomogeneous space following the alternative approach proposed in ref.[1]. We consider a coordinate dependent damping that makes the stochastic dynamics the one with multiplicative…
The Brownian motion of a particle immersed in a medium of charged particles is considered when the system is placed in magnetic or electric fields. Coming from the Zwanzig-Caldeira-Legget particle-bath model, we modify it so that not only…
We derive the time-evolution equation that describes the Brownian motion of labeled individual tracer particles in a simple model atomic liquid (i.e., a system of $N$ particles whose motion is governed by Newton's second law, and…
Active and diffusive motion in Brownian particles are regularly observed in fluidic environments, albeit at different time scales. Here, we experimentally study the dynamics of highly asymmetric microclusters trapped in air employing…

In the framework of the ordinary non-relativistic quantum mechanics, it is known that a quantum particle in a rapidly-oscillating bound potential with vanishing time average can be scattered off or even trapped owing to the phenomenon of…
We extend our previous studies on a counter-intuitive effect in which a directed transport of a free Brownian particle induced by active fluctuations can be significantly enhanced when the particle is placed in a periodic potential. It is…
We demonstrate that a Langevin equation that describes the motion of a Brownian particle under non-equilibrium conditions can be exactly transformed to a special equation that explicitly exhibits the response of the velocity to a time…

Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling are ubiquitous phenomena which are sustained by a band-gap spectrum of a periodic Hamiltonian and can be observed in dynamics of a quantum particle or a wavepacket in a periodic potential under…
